How to Use Snapchat on Mac

Snapchat is not available on the App Store straight away for use, but it can be used on Mac by mainly two methods: with or without the use of Emulators.

Usually, users are more comfortable with emulators as they are simple and easy to use, and serve all the functionality you want. There is also a method without emulators but involves a third party application.

Snapchat for Mac using Emulators

1. Bluestacks

Bluestacks is by far the most popular Android emulator that exists for both Mac and Windows. Basically, you can use Bluestacks to run Android apps and games on your computer. It supports the latest Android versions and does not lag or consume too much memory. Although the emulator’s primary focus was playing games, we will be using it to run the Snapchat app on our Mac.

• The first step will be installing Bluestacks on our Mac. Get the installer from the Bluestacks website here.
• Once you download that, run it and install the application by following the on-screen prompts.

• Once it is installed, run and open Bluestacks. Set up the Android device.
• You will also be required to sign in to your Google Account. Sign in or create a Google Account if you don’t have one.
• Now all you need to do is open Play Store and search for the Snapchat App.
• Once the app is downloaded, you will be able to find it in your list of applications in the Android emulator.

In this way, you can run Snapchat on Mac using Bluestacks, sign in just as you normally would. Enjoy.

2. Nox Android Emulator

Another great Android emulator that can be used to run Snapchat for Mac is Nox. Nox’s simple functionality makes it just as good as Bluestacks to use as an emulator. It is regarded as one of the smoothest emulators out there, so you might want to get your hands on it. Let’s look at how to use it.

• First off, get Nox from over here
• Once it is downloaded, as before, run it, agree to the terms and conditions and continue.
• Drag the Nox icon in the Applications folder. On-screen prompts will be present to help you install the application.
• Click Open, and Nox will start up.
• On opening, if you receive a message saying ‘Your VirtualBox version may not support Nox App Player’, follow the steps below.

• Exit Nox. Now go to https://www.virtualbox.org/
• Click on Download
• Now, click on OS X hosts

• Once the download is finished, click to open it.
• Now, follow the on-screen instructions to install VirtualBox on Mac
• Once VirtualBox is installed properly, open Nox again. This time, it will not display the error message.
• Now that Nox is launched, click on Play Store, search for the Snapchat app and install it, just like we did for Bluestacks.

Now you can use Snapchat app, login and send snaps just as you do in your mobile devices, using the android emulator Nox.

In this way, you can other such emulators, including Andy Player, to run android on your device and use Snapchat on Mac.

Snapchat for Macbook without using Emulators

If you are not using an Emulator to run Snapchat on Mac, your options get very limited. But among those, there is a very smooth and useful one, that still involves a third party application called Snappy. Let’s see how we can use it to use Snapchat on Mac.

• As this is a third-party application, you will need to download it from here.
• Just as described previously, you will need to install the application on your Mac using the easy on-screen instructions provided
• Once the application is installed, run it
• Login into your Snapchat account and start using Snappy!

That’s it! It’s as simple as that. You can thus use Snappy to send and receive snaps from your Macbook.

NOTE: Some users report problems with Snappy to which there hasn’t been any fix available. Go check out Snappy to see if it suits you.

Final Take!

We hope that through this article you were able to use Snapchat for Mac and that it works perfectly fine for you. We would advise you to use emulators as they don’t have the licensing and other problems that third-party applications like Snappy do. An emulator is always desirable. Applications like Snappy tend to run out their lives within a year, and Snappy does not work or poses problems for certain users, so it is always better to have something as reliable as a good emulator.

Some of our users have reported the Nox App Player stuck at 99% while starting up. First, please disable windows firewall, quit the antivirus on your pc and try again. If the problem remains, you can see the two different situations and each one could try the solutions below.

Situation One: Nox stucks at 0-99% in startup and receive no error message

Solution One: some AMD CPU may encounter this due to the affect of amd-v. Please enalbe VT (Virtulization Technology) of your computer following this post: Enalbe VT to get better performance

Solution Two: Another possible cause is Graphics Card or it’s driver does not support to run Nox. Please download and run this little tool we have developed: OpenGLChecker. If your OpenGL version ＜ 2.0 you need to change your graphics card. If your OpenGL version ≥ 2.0 but still stuck at 99%, then you need to update your Graphics Card driver.

Solution Three: If you set your file system to FAT32 it may cause this problem because FAT32 has a limit to the maximum size of each single file. In this case, please change your file system to NTFS or reinstall Nox to a NTFS disc.

Solution Four: CPU only receives part of the parameters returned from Android thus Nox can’t start. This a bit more complex and to fix it. Our develpers need to check your PC through remote access. If are are willing to do so, please contact us by email: support@bignox.com and we will arrange a time for the remote access and assistant. Please note that you need to install the software called TeamViewer to create such connection and you can end the process any time you want during the remote control.

Situation Two: Nox stucks at 99% in startup and then receive this error message: System has problems to start, please try to repair!

Note that this only applies to case of stucking at 99% due to system reasons. Do not change any thing in this tool provided unless you know what you are doing.
